Two terms you wouldn't normally associate with each other are
Mike Tyson and Celebrity Roaster.

But at the
"Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen" the former heavyweight champ was just that. In a performance that was somewhere between commanding and confusing, Tyson riveted the audience with poetry mixed with extemporaneous rippings.

Here are some of his highlights:

Tyson started with a simple limerick targeting fellow dais member
Jeffrey Ross ...

There once was an old man named RossWhose jokes were covered with mossHis punchlines was mustyHis premise was dustyI wish he'd suck on a f****** exhaust

Then Tyson began what he called with his tribute to a classic folk song ...

I've been working on the railroadS*** but it's more than what Jon Lovitz's been doing these days, Get a f****** job.15 years without workin' man. 'Saturday Night Live' is not pumpin' brother. Get it together.

Iron Mike honored the beat poets with this classic ...

I've seen the best of minds of my generation destroyed by madnessStarving hysterical naked, Dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix.And I say, "Hey Charlie Sheen, that prostitute's a f****** guy man."

The champ closed with a simple, succinct poem that draws heavily from his famed Lennox Lewis press conference ...

This wife-beating cokehead, Complains he's some rock star from Mars, Man if you were black, You'd be behind bars.Which is bulls*** you know because I'm the greatest poet alive. I'm the greatest wordsmith ever.I'm Robert Frost, I'm Lord ByronMy verses are impetuousMy rhymes are impregnableI wanna eat your children

And with that, Mike Tyson returned to his seat and the crowd roared. Because who would argue with him?
